Into the Darkness - revised

Into the Darkness

The Twilit approaches and
so into the Darkness soon I must go.

Some plans are never completed
and some songs are never sung.
Life has its share of Pain and Sorrow.
Life has its share of Laughter and Joy.

The Churn of Memories almost drowns me
as I recall what is my life.
I refuse to dwell in Sorrow and
I will not succumb to constant Tears.

I face the Fears and Shadows
that follow me and I will not despair.
I know now that Good is twisted with the Bad.
And even Good times must finally end.

But, I know that Pain and Sorrow fade and end as well.
As I draw Strength to enter into the Twilit;
I know that the Light of morning
will always follow the Darkness of night.

Some things will never change,
the work, doubts, and strife.
But, Good memories and
Love really never fade.

So, I walk with a smile and
briskly into the approaching Twilit.
I take comfort that the Light always follows Darkness
and walk with memories of our Love that never fades.

So, into the Twilit and Darkness I will bravely go.
Despite, the Pain, Sorrow, Shadows, and Fears;
Good memories strengthen me
and our love will sustain me . . .

as the Twilit approaches and
so into the Darkness soon I must go.
